week four | match ceremony

[marriagebroker]

Tonight, they're back at the courtyard for the fourth and final time. Nothing has changed too drastically decor wise, there are still lanterns abound and a table full of food and drink. There is also now a third couch near the special couches for Messmer and Odile, if they so choose to sit there. But again, you do you! Wei Wuxian is certainly not going to stop you.

Speaking of that guy, he's here and dressed to impress again. He's looking snazzy. He's waiting for everyone to arrive, watching as they do and grinning broadly all the while. Then when everyone arrives, he clears his throat and begins to speak.

"You all have achieved three of the eight lights you need to win the game. With the match of Messmer and Odile, you only have to light up five lights tonight to succeed. Let's hope you pick right, huh?"

But he has complete faith in everyone! So, let's get this show on the road.

"Team Wangji, you're up."

[ Good news! No drinking involved!

Unless that's the only way you can play this game in the first place. Then drink up and spill your guts. ]

Just because you weren't looking for love doesn't mean you weren't still looking. Come on, Messmer, you're surrounded by lookers here. Are you really going to tell me you don't find any of us even a little bit hot?

[anathemaw]

[ he is absolutely NOT drinking he learned his lesson (do not trust the booze here) ]

Aye. I care not for pleasures of the flesh.

[ when you're so depressed that people aren't even hot to you anymore. Is he telling the truth? He certainly thinks he is. ]

[nrangel]

Great, then you can be really objective about aesthetics, and this won't be awkward or embarrassing for you to answer at all!

[ You're not getting out of this one so easily, Messmer. ]

[anathemaw]

There is naught less objective than appearance.

[ but whatever. He waves a clawed hand at her. Do your worst, Serpilia. ]

[nrangel]

True, so I guess you'll have to think about it really carefully then!

[ She's not giving up, and he seems to be slowly resigning himself to that fact.

If he wants her to do her worst though: ]

Verso.

1/2

[anathemaw]

[ serpilia is DEFINITELY dangerous ]

2/2

[anathemaw]

[ .....

........ ]

... By any measure, he is a man of handsome features.

[ and he has NO PERSONAL FEELINGS on the matter. ]

[nrangel]

One might even say a description like that would land him in a category some might call... hot, huh?

[ Her smile is teasing. ]

[anathemaw]

[ a hmph. ]

Such parlance I know not.

[ they don't use that word where he's from!! he'll feign ignorance!! ]

[nrangel]

Attractive. Good-looking. Gorgeous. A babe. Stunning. A real ten out of ten. Any of those clearing it up for you?

[ The smile grows. ]
